Amelia was talking to the Grand Elder for a couple of hours. The old lady left the place, but the Terran was left with a confused expression. The old lady said a lot of things but none of them gave her a clear idea of what to look forward.
She frowned and then went back to deal with the things in the sect. She will face the calamity when it comes at her.
...
Shi Lang was walking his way through the demon region with an indifferent gaze. Hou Bing sat on his shoulder and asked, "Why do I feel your emotions raging?"
Shi Lang replied, "I always try to see reason through even in the most unreasonable situations. However, what I do not understand is how can someone be so cruel? You saw that village, right? Even if the children are too young to know what is good and what is bad, the elders are left here to look after them.
In their eyes, the fear was evident, it was as if they were thankful of being in this place and sending off their young to fend off the evil.
How tormented does one have to be in order to seek joy from the pain suffered by other people? How twisted someone needs to be in their mind that they would create such a village? Faking happiness, hiding pain yet suffering as if molten iron drips over their hearts. How can I not be agitated?"
Shi Lang was a human, and has lived for a long time. He has seen joy, pain, sorrow, but still he could never find an explanation of how people's mind would lose the sense to reason in the face of quick gains.
Hou Bing said, "Lang, there is a fine line between sane and insane. Insanity is the moment of anger that consumes your being. Once you get stuck in the anger, that is the moment when you are done for. The people who fell to the demonic path were all those who sought revenge from those who deprived them of their chances and future.
The once who managed to see through the truth is now living outside the cage, while the mad live inside."
Shi Lang stopped in his path and then he nodded with a gentle nod. It was indeed as Hou Bing has said, people would get stuck in the moment of hatred and rage and that would be the end of their sanity.
Insane people saw the world as a twisted place and they would do whatever it takes to make everyone fit in their molds and watch the world through their twisted glasses. Shi Lang walked for a whole day before he arrived near a mountain. He spotted two people standing guard of the stairways that led to the summit.
He could see everything clearly in his sensory ability map. The number of people in this place was higher and they did not seem to be in a hurry to leave either. Shi Lang frowned and then his face returned to normal. Hou Bing said, "Lang, it does not look good."
Shi Lang nodded, and said, "These fuckers are ready for a mass slaughter. I wonder if it is a ritual or are they going through with it to keep me at a bay?"

Hou Bing said, "They are doing a ritual. They are going to sacrifice one thousand and eight girls to gather and refine the yin in their bodies."
Shi Lang asked calmly, "What is the use of this ritual?"
Allure nodded and waved her hand before she vanished from the spot. Hao Mei and Yu Xeidi received their instructions in their minds. The two girls began to discuss the things they have just learned during the spar.
...
Allure was fast, and she quickly appeared above the War Maiden Sect. What she saw made her frown and she immediately dashed forward. However, a strong presence was locked onto her and she immediately lost control of her body.
On the ground in the center of the War Maiden Sect, a young man stood with his hands behind his back. He wore a white and purple hanfu. He was handsome but had a devilish glint in his eyes. Behind him stood an elder, he wore similar clothes, but the latter's stance was that of a servant.
Before these two people, Amelia was kneeling with blood leaking from her lips. The young man said, "You fought me, you burned your true essence, you sacrificed your Dao Laws. I have never seen a sect mistress as stubborn as you. Though, I have to commend, that despite being a weak whore, you managed to scratch my forehead."
As he spoke, his eyes grew colder and then he appeared beside Amelia, and kicked her in the face. Her beautiful face was rendered into pieces that were beyond recognition. The man did not stop he kicked her in the stomach and broke her Dantian.
Amelia let out a muffled groan, her jaw was shattered. The grand elder of the war maiden sect stood in her place clenching her staff tightly. The young man asked, "Why did you struggle so much? Because you have a husband? So what if you are used? I did not say that I wanted to take you as a bride.
You could have just helped me relieve myself before I leave this place, couldn't you? Tch, what a waste of soft flesh."
The man spat on the wounded Amelia, and said, "Old whore, do your job well, make sure to guard the entrance of the cage, if anyone from came out once again, I will have your head as my piss bowl."
The old man looked at the grand elder and let out a snort. The grand elder fell to her knees and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The old man said, "Young Master Xian, a fox has appeared outside the sect. She seems to friends with these women."
The young man shook his head and said, "Forget it, these bitches aren't worth carrying the shoes of the women in the Blooming Moon Pavilion. Let's go, the inspection is complete."
The old man waved his hand and the two vanished from the place. Allure landed on the ground and quickly rushed toward Amelia, however, just as she was about to touch the latter, her body burst up with green flames.
A laughter echoed in the void. The entire caged world heard this laughter.
...
Shi Lang was moving on the cliff with his furrowed brows when he heard a loud and arrogant laughter, followed by a voice, "Ants, my name is Juan Xian, I am the young master of Juan family. We are your masters, and as masters of a pigsty, all the pigs belong to us. The reason I am talking to you weaklings is because I want to tell someone named Ace, that your wife was good, but she was a bad bitch.
She refuse to be my toy so I broke her. Hahahaha, she said you will avenge her. Hahahaha, I will wait for you to come out of this cage. To encourage you, I have disfigured your wife's face, and crippled her cultivation. Also, you have an hour before she dies from the heat of my flames. Hahahaha, unfortunately, I have to leave this place and cannot watch you wriggle like a worm when you hear this.
Hahaha, goodbye, I will wait for you, if you ever survived stepping out of the cage. Hahahaha."
The entire world was quite, only the wind and the lingering laughter could be heard. Everyone around Shi Lang turned to look at him, and found his stunned. Suddenly, Shi Tao appeared beside him with a tearing face. On her communicator, Amelia's body was visible, and Allure said, "Forgive me, I was late."
